Diversity and dynamics of the minichromosomal karyotype in Trypanosoma brucei.

Molecular and biochemical parasitology - 1 Mar 2001

Alsford S, Wickstead B, Ersfeld K, Gull K

Abstract excerpt

The genome of African trypanosomes contains a large number of minichromosomes. Their only proposed role is in the expansion of the parasites' repertoire of telomeric variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) genes as minichromosomes carry silent VSG gene copies in telomeric locations. Despite their importance as VSG gene donors, little is known about the actual composition of the minichromosomal karyotype and the...
